VAN HALEN I'LL WAIT w/ IK Multimedia Syntronik OXa Synth (Oberheim OB-Xa) + MODO DRUM + Sampletank

On today's video, I attempt to recreate (or at least get close to) Van Halen's 1984 song "I'll Wait" using IK Multimedia's Syntronik 2 OXa Synth vst plugin program, Based On the OBERHEIM OB-X and OB-Xa Synthesizers, famously used by Eddie On VAN HALEN'S 1984 hit song JUMP! I also attempt Alex's drum sound using a combination of MODO DRUM and Sampletank 4 Beat Machines/Terry Bozzio Drums sample collections. I also give a little history lesson and a lot of info.

All Rights to "I'll Wait" belong to Van Halen, I simply covered the song for research purposes to learn about different sounds in music history.

Other Equipment Used:
-Simmons Titan 50 Electronic Drum Kit
-M-Audio Keystation 49e
-IK Multimedia T-RackS 5 For Quick Mastering

Info from IK Multimedia:

"Sounds that will make you... jump!

OXa provides two more timeless polysynths in Syntronik; the Oberheim OB-X and OB-Xa. Manufactured from 1979-1981, the OB-X was built on the foundation of the SEM and 4-Voice instruments. It was available in 4, 6 or 8-voice versions.

The OB-X voice includes two oscillators that could each be set to sawtooth or square into the signature Oberheim 2-pole low pass filter. Cross-modulation provides oscillator FM for inharmonic and bell-like tones, a feature that was discarded in the next-generation OB-Xa. However, the OB-Xa added a 4-pole filter option in addition to the standard 2-pole low pass filter.

In the OB-Xa the FM cross-modulation feature of the OB-X was traded for a pitch envelope control that lets the filter envelope modulate the oscillator pitch, something especially handy for brass-like attack scoops.

Like many its competitors, the OB-X and OB-Xa offer a Unison mode where all of the voices can be stacked together for a single monophonic layer of up to 16 oscillators and 8 filters.
An iconic example of what the OB-Xa is capable of is the brassy sound used on Van Halen’s “Jump”. Instant classic!
